    I like to listen to music when I’m out on my own…
    Is it the done thing?….is it even legal?

    I would love to listen to
    I would love to listen to music but I think it is total madness. There are enough inches of press devoted to cycling accidents without making a positive attempt to increase them. When riding (IMHO) your ears are as important as your eyes and I certainly wouldn’t advocate riding with both eyes shut – or even one come to that.

    I do too, but only in one ear
    I do too, but only in one ear (left closest to the kerb) and not too loud. I have no problems hearing what is around me.

    I also use cyclemeter on my iphone which I have set up to give notifications about distance – its useful to know how far you have cycled, its a good tool to keep going.

    I don’t see why listening to music would be illegal in itself, I suppose if you had an accident ‘without due care and attention’ might stick I suppose.
